The Pro Quidditch Bracket
The playoffs for the Professional Quidditch Cup begin on January 1st, featuring the top 12 teams from the played season. The playoffs are done in a 'sudden death' style a la soccer/eurofootball (according to MJ I know very limited sport) and this challenge is done in a STANLEY CUP BRACKET style.For those of you not familiar with the concept of the bracket, basically you make predictions as to who will win each game/the overall cup. In a mostly-randomized (more on that further down) mechanism I will roll for each 'round' of the playoffs and update people. Whosoever gets everything right - or the most things right - gets first pick of prizes. Go on over to the spreadsheet and read the instructions/template on the first page. Then, create a new page with your name and fill out your predicted winner of each game in place of the Italics. When you're done, post here and I'll like your post to approve your bracket. Your bracket can't be an exact replica of another members', so poke around to make sure your guesses are original! (There are by my math way too many possible variations so this shouldn't be hard.) Brackets are due by 11:59 PM EST on January 4th at which point the spreadsheet will be locked to editing. There is a very slight modifier based on the teams' places at the end of the season, which were: 1. Portree None of the moderators are more than 1.5/-1.5 and they're scaled. FUN FACTS. If you make a bracket and complete 1 thread with 10+ posts related to the pro Quidditch cup, you earn a stamp: ![]() For every round, I'll roll for who wins and update with players' "point standings." The five players who get the most right games will get their choice of prizes (first-come first-serve in terms of whoever 'wins!') Round 1 games are played on January 6th, with results published OOC & IC on the 6th. Round 2 games are played on January 14th, with results published OOC & IC on the 14th. Round 3's game is played on 22nd with results published OOC & IC on the 23rd. The QUIDDITCH CUP FINAL is played on January 30th with results published OOC SAME-DAY O MAN!! IC NEXT DAY. Plz love Quidditch as much as I love Quidditch, thank you and goodnight. Contact Beanie with any questions or concerns. |
